Abstract

We consider the problem of grasping an unknown polygonal flat object using a parallel jaw gripper. Here we propose to equip a standard gripper with several light-beam sensors (close to each jaw) and describe a reactive grasping algorithm. This is done by probing the object to locate a good grasp position, and then grasping, without moving the object significantly. The goal is to do as little motion as possible to find a grasp. This algorithm can be viewed in a competitive framework, where our algorithm is competing against any algorithm which already knows the object.
